Hey there. I hope someone can help me out with this. I'm not sure what she's talking about and I can't get ahold of her to find out.. my host told me to pick the recipe for her show this Saturday, so I picked the Turkey Cranberry Wreath. But she emailed me this:

Can you give me some more recipes to choose from for items to make at the party? I am really picky with what food I eat and want to make sure it's something that I'd eat too. I like the bread that is baked on the stone for sandwiches, etc...

:confused: I can't get ahold of her to find out what on earth she means! lol Does anyone have any suggestions? I only have the super starter products, so I'm limited. THanks :)
 
how about the sandwich ring. Where you make a big doughnut of french bread and then you slice it horizontally and make it a sandwich
 
another recipehow about the taco ring, it is done on the large or small round stone, shows just about every tool in your kit and it is made from crescent rolls.

The Caprese Sandwiches are easy and are made w/ the french bread as well. My super starter I did the Rustic Focaccia and I still make that. i even forgot the onion one time and everyone still loved it! hope this helps
 
I've done PC twice now in my career. I've stuck w/the Turkey/Cranberry Wreath because I've never had anyone not like it! In fact, it is /was a hit back in 2000 and now. I just made it for a show last Saturday and everyone loved it! Even my picky eaters were pleasantly surprised! So, I'd tell your host to go w/it (esp. to use up leftover turkey) and the rest of the ingredients cost only $l0.00. She could put out a meat/cheese tray or chips/dips if she's wary. But remind her the focus is on demo the products / and not on the recipe itself. Hope this helps.
 
My sister is a picky eater too & she loves the taco ring.
 
It sounds like your host is specifically talking about the bread used for the various sandwich rings. In that case, she means the Pillsbury French Bread dough. If this is what she wants, you can make just about any sandwich filling for this.
